Making Vegan Look Good

I couldn’t be prouder of myself! When adopting a vegan diet, there is a very healthy way to go about it and a very damaging way. You have to pay close attention to your body, give it what it asks for, make sure you are incorporating more plant based foods than overly processed, and be willing to throw the ‘portion control’ idea out the window with a lot of foods you eat (unless what you’re daily diet consists of is Double Stuffed Oreos. There is a little common sense involved).

It was suggested by the Nutritionist that I saw to eventually get some blood work done, just to make sure there wasn’t anything I was depriving my body of (B12 and Iron tend to be the big ones). Annnnnnnnddddd…..(drum roll, please)…..EVERYTHING came back GREAT!!!

There are so many reasons I am thrilled about this: Showing that a proper vegan diet *can* be healthy, knowing I am feeding my family well, feeling like the information I have gathered on this journey has been on the right track. It’s just a great feeling overall! Go me!
